Gunwales and Epoxy

I am off to a slow start on the inside of the boat. Here the three layers of wood making up the inner gunwales are finished. I have slapped some fairing compound on the worst of the irregularities on the inside. After that I put two coats of epoxy over everything. Just in time because some of the recent heavy rains have started leaking through the roof and into the open container of my boat.
Next I will work on the breast works. ( the little piece that fits into the spot where the gunwales and stems meet. All the articles call for advanced carpentry skills at this stage. We will see.
Then the centerboard case.
